It delivers 250 mA Zener test current, 1650 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 3.5 µA max reverse leakage at 2.64 V.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4620-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4620-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4620-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4620-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability qualification, low-noise operation (1 µV/√Hz), thermal resistance of 250 °C/W (junction-to-lead), and axial-leaded DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable Zener voltage under thermal cycling and radiation exposure per MicroNote 050.
The JANTX1N4620-1/TR exhibits a temperature coefficient of –0.075 %/°C and supports linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C ambient, with junction-to-lead thermal resistance optimized for 3/8″ lead length mounting.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4620US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires SMT reflow process; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or repair | Select when board space constraints mandate surface-mount and thermal pad layout supports 250 °C/W RθJL |
| JAN1N4620-1 | Identical DO-35 package and electrical parameters; qualified only to JAN level (not JANTX) | Lacks extended screening for burn-in and life testing required in mission-critical avionics | Select only for cost-sensitive commercial or non-safety-critical industrial use where full JANTX screening is unnecessary |
Compared with JANTX1N4620-1/TR, the 1N4620US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a space-saving SMT form factor, while the JAN1N4620-1 reduces procurement cost but omits the accelerated life testing and lot acceptance requirements mandated for JANTX-level deployment.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4620-1/TR?
JANTX1N4620-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a ±5% tolerance, measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. This tolerance reflects the standard JEDEC specification for the 1N4620-1 family and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening requirements for JANTX-level devices.
Is JANTX1N4620-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4620-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4620-1e3); military-spec JANTX variants retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 to ensure solderability and reliability under thermal stress.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for JANTX1N4620-1/TR?
JANTX1N4620-1/TR supports a maximum Zener current (IZM) of 85 mA, calculated from its 500 mW power rating and 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage. This value assumes operation at 25 °C lead temperature; current must be reduced linearly above 50 °C per the derating curve in the datasheet.
How is polarity marked on JANTX1N4620-1/TR?
JANTX1N4620-1/TR uses a single black cathode band on the glass body to indicate polarity. During Zener regulation, the banded (cathode) end must be held at a higher potential than the anode end. This marking conforms to JEDEC standard DO-35 package conventions and is verified during MIL-PRF-19500/435 visual inspection.
Does JANTX1N4620-1/TR require external heat sinking?
No, JANTX1N4620-1/TR does not require external heat sinking when operated within its 500 mW rating and mounted with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body, achieving 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. Its DO-35 glass package relies on lead conduction for thermal dissipation, consistent with MIL-STD-202 test conditions.
